How can I improve this mini
Hi all.
I am having problems with a two or three things when painting minis.
I don’t know how to highlight without losing saturation. I really like for example how rich the yellow is on the shoes, but I recognize there is little to no highlight. I know I could use oranges to enhance the shadow which is I guess a form of highlighting, but I don’t know how to make a good colour choice in the spectrum.
I am always having issues with applying colour to weapon handles. I rather use dark colours to manage the contrast since I don’t want the handle to bring too much attention, but at the same time I want it too look good. All the tutorials I have seen push up the wood tones a lot, but I don’t know how to do this with darker colours and make it noticeable. I think it looks too flat.
I have the same issue with the belt as I have with the shoes. How to choose a good tone that helps to enhance and highlight without using white or yellows.
Thanks in advance.
